The Yellow Wallpaper Group Show

The classic horror story, The Yellow Wallpaper, written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman in 1890, was inspired by horrible advice that women suffering from depression were given by male doctors and enforced by husbands. The story still strikes a chord with women today.

The Yellow Wallpaper Art Show at The Paseo Plunge will showcase art that features women dealing courageously with mental illnesses, learning to trust their own inner voice despite louder (and usually male) voices of authority.
